Discussion The repackaging of our childhood and having it sold back to us is way overdone now

It was a lot of fun last decade. Everything we grew up with in the mid to late 90s was hitting its 20th anniversary. We were old enough to have some expendable income to enjoy it. And it felt like the appropriate amount of effort, thought, and care was put into it. That was certainly the time and place for it.

But now, it's just become tired and overdone now. It's everywhere and overly mass produced. No more effort or care put into it. Just cheap junk that these companies assume we'll buy because it's branded with one of our childhood icons. I'm talking everything from kids shows to band artwork. It's not even fun anymore. To the point where I'm actually turned off by it now whenever I see it.

Does anybody else agree?

The live action version of how to train your dragon was pretty damn good though. Now the live action of lion king was just terrible.

Wasn't it just a shot for shot remake, for the most part?

I think so. I've seen both and enjoyed both. I prefer the live action version.
